TexProtects is excited to announce the launch of Investing in Texas Families: A Step-by-Step Curriculum for Home Visiting Providers, a new resource designed to help prevention providers prepare for the upcoming Texas Home Visiting RFA — and beyond.
Designed with the RFA process in mind, the curriculum’s broader goal is to support any organization interested in launching or expanding a home visiting program. It features eight easy-to-follow modules, each written in a friendly, accessible tone that cuts through the confusion often associated with starting something new.
If you’re a provider looking to strengthen your capacity to serve families, or considering launching a home visiting program, this curriculum is designed with you in mind.
Interested in accessing the curriculum? Please reach out to Veronica Hernandez for more information.
Our Long-Term Commitment to Expanding Home Visiting in Texas
At TexProtects, our mission has always been centered on preventing child abuse and neglect — and home visiting is one of the most effective, evidence-based strategies to achieve that goal. These programs strengthen families, improve child health and development and increase school readiness.
To learn more about the powerful outcomes of home visiting and the upcoming federal funding headed to Texas, read our latest blog post: Home Visiting Programs Build Strong Texas Families.
TexProtects has long been a champion of home visiting in Texas, advocating for investments that have expanded access and impact statewide.
Our advocacy wins include:
- Bringing Nurse-Family Partnership to Texas, securing $8.9 million to serve 2,000 families.
- Leading the passage of the Texas Home Visiting Expansion and Accountability Act, which brought $7.9 million in new state dollars to reach more than 5,000 families.
- Securing $65 million in funding for prevention programming — including home visiting — building on years of legislative success and collaboration.
This new curriculum is the next step in our ongoing work to equip prevention providers with the tools and knowledge they need to make a difference. By investing in providers, we invest in the strong families and communities that make Texas thrive.
